Small annoyances that add up

Individually trivial, collectively a papercut collection: Sort resets when I change tabs. Watchlist order doesn't stick. Long names truncate with no tooltip. Search wants capitals. None of these would make me stop using it. All of them happen every single session, and the cumulative effect is a sense that the software and I are slightly out of step all day. The good news is they're all cheap to fix, which is a rare combination — high annoyance, low cost!

All four are logged from your bug reports and this framing helps prioritize them as a group rather than four separate small items.

papercuts is the right word. none of them matter and all of them matter.

adding one to the pile: sort reset gets me every night because i'm tabbing between coins constantly at 3am. muscle memory says the order is one thing, screen says another 😅

honest question, is the search caps thing a bug or is it doing an exact string match under the hood? i keep typing lowercase and getting nothing and i genuinely don't know if i'm doing it wrong

Two things to add: 1. Watchlist order sticking matters more than it sounds — I use position in the list as a rough priority signal, so when it reshuffles I lose the ranking I built by hand. 2. On the truncated names, my worry is less the tooltip and more that I've twice clicked a similar-looking ticker because the distinguishing part was cut off. That one is a papercut with teeth.

The cumulative framing is the right one. Each of these costs maybe two seconds, but they fire many times a session, so the honest unit is seconds-per-hour of attention leaked, not seconds-per-event. And the variance matters as much as the mean, the sort reset isn't slow, it's that I act on a stale mental model before I notice. Out of curiosity, does the sort reset happen on every tab change or only when you come back to a tab you'd sorted earlier?

sort resetting mid-session is how you end up clicking the row you thought was the funding leader. ask me how i know 😐 not a huge loss but not zero either

Betty's second point is the one I'd pull out of the pile and treat separately. Truncated names causing a wrong click isn't an annoyance, it's an order-entry error, and it belongs in a different bucket than watchlist ordering. My habit is to confirm the symbol on the ticket before size, every single time — boring, but it catches exactly this. Would still rather the tooltip existed so the checklist isn't the only thing standing between me and the wrong ticker.
